ALEA is in the process of developing the innovative Aqua Bike for the BALNOVA sports physiotherapy and diagnostics center. BALNOVA is currently under construction and will be completed in 2026. The state-of-the-art bike will be used for rehabilitation and training. Building on Bad Orb’s spa town tradition, the Aqua Bike exercises will also utilize saline’s positive effect on health for rehabilitation. The Aqua Bike can be used either in an Aqua Tub filled with saline or out of the water.
ALEA is currently evaluating the possibility of patenting the product. The bike’s design language is derived from BALNOVA’s trigonal architectural concept, while its frame geometry is inspired by high-end racing bikes. For prototype development, the design team is collaborating with an Italian manufacturer specializing in advanced carbon fiber production – a company highly regarded in yacht and sports car construction. The material offers numerous advantages, including brine resistance and extremely low weight.
